Question

If a Non-Hanifi person likes to follow few rullings from Hanifi fiqh, is this OK ?

Answer

It is compulsory to adhere to one particular Madhab. (Rasmul Mufti; ibn Aabideen Shaami)

It is not permissible to follow the rulings of another Madhab without need. Furthermore, the need to follow another Madhab must be referred to a reliable Aalim / Mufti. If he determines that there is a need (Dhuroorat) then only may follow the ruling of another Madhab, in that particular matter only.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai

This goes to whoever maintains the archive, not to Askimam.org. For a question about the ruling itself, use the link to the original above.
